Study of thermoplastic extrusion and its impact on the chemical and nutritional...
CAMPELO, F. A.; HENRIQUES, G. S.; SIMEONE, M. L. F.; QUEIROZ, V. A. V.; SILVA, M. R.; AUGUSTI, R.; MELO, J. O. F.; LACERDA, I. C. A.; ARAÚJO, R. L. B.The use of sorghum in human nutrition has been expanded due to its nutritional composition and its functional potential. Extrusion has been used to improve the quality of sorghum. The aim of this work was to assess the effect of extrusion in the nutritional composition, phenolic compounds content of two sorghum, and characterize the profile of chemical constituents by paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS). Extr...
ELISA using a recombinant chimera of ESAT-6/MPB70/MPB83 for Mycobacterium bovis...
SOUZA, I. I. F. de; RODRIGUES, R. de A.; JORGE, K. S. G.; SILVA, M. R.; LILENBAUM, W.; VIDAL, C. E. S.; ETGES, R. N.; KOSTOVIC, M.; ARAUJO, F. R.Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) control programs generally rely on intradermal tuberculin tests for the antemortem diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle, but these tests detect only a portion of the infected animals. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic coverage of a combination of the bTB antemortem techniques known as the comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CITT) and an EL...

BACANELLI, G.; OLARTE, L. C.; SILVA, M. R.; RODRIGUES, R. A.; CARNEIRO, P. A. M.; KANEENE, J. B.; PASQUATTI, T. N.; TAKATANI, H.; ZUMÁRRAGA, M. J.In this study, Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time-of-Flight (MALDITOF) mass spectrometry was used to identify Mycobacterium bovis from cattle and buffalo tissue isolates from the North and South regions of Brazil, grown in solid medium and previously identified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based on Region of Difference 4 (RD4), sequencing and spoligotyping. For this purpose, the protein extr...
Effect of herd's size and geographical location on somatic cell count of milk f...
OLIVEIRA, E. F. de; ABREU, L. R. de; SILVA, M. R.; FARIA, L. S. de; SOUZA, G. N. deABSTRACT - Eighty-five Holland herds under control official lactation index were Somatic Cell Count (SCC) analyzed from March 2009 to February 2010. A total of 1,020 samples were collected monthly during this period. The herds were classified according to geographical location in the Minas Gerais State and number of dairy cows. The data were transformed to SCC linear score, and the average compared by the analy...
Risk factors for human Mycobacterium bovis infections in an urban area of Brazil.
SILVA, M. R.; ROCHA, A. da S.; ARAUJO, F. R.; FONSECA-JÚNIOR, A. A.; ALENCAR, A. P. de; SUFFYS, P. N.; COSTA, R. R. da; MOREIRA, M. A. S.BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified human zoonotic tuberculosis (TB) due to Mycobacterium bovis as a neglected issue in the developing world. In a recent cross-sectional study in Brazil, three of 189 TB patients presented with a coinfection of M. bovis and M. tuberculosis and were selected as cases for this study. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate risk factors (RF) for zoonotic TB in a...
Survey of Salmonella spp. in beef meat for export at slaughterhouses in Brazil.
BIER, D.; KICH, J. D.; DUARTE, S. C.; SILVA, M. R.; VALSONI, L. M.; RAMOS, C. A. N.; RODRIGUES, D. P.; ARAUJO, F. R.The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of Salmonella spp. in samples collected from beef meat at three points of the slaughter line (after skinning, washing and cooling) at three slaughterhouses in Brazil that export meat. Detection was based on ISO 6579:2002 and confirmed by PCR and qPCR. The isolates were typified using slide agglutination tests and PFGE. The antibiotic sensitivity profi...
False-negative reactions to the comparative intradermal tuberculin test for bov...
RODRIGUES, R. A.; MENESES, I. I. F. S.; JORGE, K. S. G.; SILVA, M. R.; SANTOS, L. R. dos; LILENBAUM, W.; ETGES, R. N.; ARAUJO, F. R.According to the Brazilian National Program for the Control and Eradication of Animal Brucellosis and Tuberculosis (PNCEBT), the routine tests for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in the country are the simple intradermal tuberculin test (SITT) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), the caudal fold test and the comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CITT). The latter is also use...
A time series analysis of bulk tank somatic cell counts of dairy herds located ...
RODRIGUES, L. G.; SILVA, M. R.; SOUZA, G. N. de; MENDONÇA, J. F. M. de; MENDONCA, L. C.; AQUINO, M. H. C. deABSTRACT - Bulk tank somatic cell counts (BTSCC) is widely used to monitore the mammary gland health at the herd and regional level. The BTSCC time series from specific regions or countries can be used to compare the mammary gland health and estimate the trend of subclinical mastitis at the regional level. Three time series of BTSCC from dairy herds located in the USA and the Southeastern Brazil were evaluated ...
